Zhixian heard the robotic prompts back to back in his mind, making him dizzy. However, what made him bewildered wasn't the prompt but its content.
'What the fuck?'
He almost couldn't help but curse as he looked through each reward thoroughly.
'First of all, the rewards have increased more than before, which might be because of Xiao Chen's awakening. A total of 30,000 Antagonist points should allow me to purchase something nice.'
Zhixian analyzed after the initial shock wore off,
'Anyway, it is a good thing for me, and it seems his gold finger is related to Alchemy. I don't know if there is any soul Grandpa or something but...'
He then suddenly looked at the last prompt and cursed,
'What do you mean I used a despicable and sneaky method? And what the hell is with this Eternal Devouring Hell Scripture?'
Zhixian was truly bewildered, as just from the name, it was a demonic technique for sure.
Not to mention the description—just by reading it, Zhixian's heart skipped a beat.
'This is the path of no return.'
He thought; however, his heart was instead beating violently inside.
Because this technique was actually a High Level Heaven Grade technique, and he could immediately master it to the Mastery level with just a will.
'Calm down, Zhixian, haste makes waste.'
However, although it was extremely tempting, Zhixian didn't immediately receive the reward but calmed down instead.
'System, receive the low-level Heaven grade technique – Silent Mirage Step.'
He ordered, opting to receive this new Heaven-grade technique first.
'Swish!'
Suddenly, a surge of complex information flooded his mind, engraving the technique directly into his consciousness just like before.
Within a few seconds, Zhixian could now feel the fluidity of the steps, the perfect harmony between movement and silence, as though his body had already mastered the art of vanishing without a trace.
'Hah... that felt awesome!'
Zhixian was quite happy, as this was the second Heaven-level technique he learned. Moreover, both techniques were directly at the Proficiency level.
'Now with this movement technique, I won't have a hard time dodging an attack.'
Zhixian smirked playfully while looking at the gloomy father and son figures who finally returned from the arena.
However, since the place where he was seated was destroyed by Zhixian, Xiao Heng and Xiao Chen could only stand at the side.
'Poor guys!'
Zhixian smiled a little after seeing their gloomy faces. Especially, he could see that Xiao Chen was gnashing his teeth in hatred while looking in his direction.
'Heh... so, you did have something precious in that storage bag of yours, huh?'
Zhixian thought, remembering the extra reward he got after snatching the Storage Bag of Xiao Chen.
'A Mid-Level Earth Grade Cauldron – Infernal Ember and Myriad Herb Origin Sutra (High Level Earth Grade Technique) as a reward.'
'So, this guy is an Alchemy-related protagonist?'
Zhixian raised his eyebrows, contemplating everything.
In fact, when he decided to fight Xiao Chen before, he also wanted to know what his golden finger was.
After all, this guy's realm had skyrocketed so fast, there was no way he hadn't awakened his golden finger.
At first, he thought maybe there was some soul in a ring or some ancient master guiding him behind the scenes... but no matter how closely he observed, he couldn't find any trace of such a cliché.
Now, after seeing the inexplicable rewards he got, he finally had some guesses.
"Okay, ladies and gentlemen. The fight for the succession of Clan Leader is finally over... Zhixian has clearly shown his dominance by beating Xiao Chen ruthlessly."
Just when Zhixian was musing over things, he suddenly heard a loud shout from Elder Nanfeng from the front.
"Since there is no one who can compare to his talent, power, and grace, the Xiao family has unilaterally decided to make him the head of our Xiao family."
And obviously, no matter what, this guy never stopped flattering.
From the way he was smiling and praising Zhixian, it seemed like he was Elder Nanfeng's grandson, not the Grand Elder.
"Okay, let's not waste time anymore and proceed to the next step of the ceremony."
